A blog about my life with rheumatoid arthritis and all that goes along with it. The ups and downs. The highs and lows. The laughter and the tears. Sounds so dramatic, doesn't it?!

SAVING MR. BANKS

I just watched the sweetest movie: Saving Mr. Banks. It is a Disney movie but not your typical Disney movie. There was no villain and no gorgeous, helpless female.

Instead there was this strong willed adult woman (Emma Thompson) and Walt Disney himself (of course played by Tom Hanks). The movie is all about how Walt Disney bought and had Mary Poppins made into a movie. Emma Thompson plays the author P.L. Travers. P.L. Travers does not want the book made into a movie for various reasons you will find out when you watch the movie.

It was a really good movie, although a bit slow for a Saturday night after going out to dinner. I managed to stay awake but just barely!

About Me

WELCOME!
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis almost 20 years ago but I know I have had it for longer. I was lucky that once the symptoms became evident, I was diagnosed quickly and put on medication quickly. I know that makes me one of the lucky few. I have a diagnosis of Adrienne's Disease which consists of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren's Syndrome, Pernicious Anemia, Raynaud's Disease, and Interstitial Cystitis.
I live with my two dogs (Happi and Lucky) and bird (Sunshine, Sunny for short). We call Happi the "Big Dog" and Lucky the "little dog".
I am fortunate to work for myself as a consultant after working for many years at "regular" jobs.
This blog was created to tell my story and to help others understand and learn more about the world of RA/chronic autoimmune diseases. It will be a place of education, advocacy, storytelling and humor. I know I could not get through this without lots of laughter! They say it is the best medicine (after my Enbrel, Prednisone, and Topomax)!
